Ignorance is no defense for negligence and Champion must know this.
If they ought to have reasonably known that the food would have been irradiated and that such a process would result in what we've seen then they have been negligent (and certainly in the UK liable for ALL costs resulting from their actions).
If they've been as careless as they appear in Australia not researching the processes and not ensuring that the food reaching their customers is safe how can we in the UK trust them?
How do we know that somewhere along the line a problem isn't going to crop up with the new fish because they've not done appropriate testing etc....

I feel so desperately sorry for those in Australia whose kitties have been affected, they were only trying to give their cats what they believed to be the best only to be let down so badly.

I had fed orijen but was beginning to move away from dry food and the breaking of this story was the catalyst to remove it totally from my cats diets.
